Background

Scope and content:

[Promises to send three pamphlets and suggestions for half a dozen "short programmes."]

[Refuses to take royalty for play; donates it through Hale to the Women's Guild. ]

[Promises to send an outline; hopes that the proof with corrections came in time.]

[Contains quotations from Gelett Burgess' Are You A Bromide?; contains quotations from Anne Douglas Sedgwick's Adrienne Tonerand samples of Gale's own collection of glib, thoughtless utterances heard everywhere and catch phrases from years past; criticizes the fashion of repeating catch phrases and of people's presenting them as their own ideas, and acting on these sentiments.]

[Says she has not sent Bridges the introduction; asks if she should send it by day letter.]

[Recollects a charming evening; thanks him for the note he wrote; mentions Mr. Bridgman.]

[Expresses thanks for a book; apologizes for not having written sooner.]

[Expresses appreciation for sending her some material, especially maps; mentions an upcoming luncheon with him.]
